The railroad companies either deny it or laugh at the charge. Despite the health board's rule agalmt the use of soft coal in the city, lots of it is being sold today. Hazleton, Pa., Sept, 19. The Industrial battle is the hottest around the Markle company's four mines at Jeddo in the Hazleton district. This morning a member of the company said; "We purpose Keeping the mines working. Of course if they concentrate their efforts here we may find difficulty doing so. We will not tolerate trespass bowevi-r, and if we can't prevent it we will call upon the state. If our men lave us we will endeavor to fill their places." This declaration is taken as a forecast of an early call upon the state troops. Coal and iron and police and militia would then figure in the strike. The memory of the Lattimer massa cres will probably keep the sheriff's posse from being called upon. ! a most substantial gain is reported by the miners this morning by the .-New lorK, sept.

This, the third day of the great anthracite coa strike has failed to bring forth any thing that would tend to the corning together of the coal operators and the striking mine workers. - Neither side has approached the other, and aa far as could be learned there is no such move contemplated by either the oper aiors or their employes. Unless there is a break in the ranks of either It Seems that a third party will have to stfp into the breach and try to bring the two forces together. A statement issued by President Mitchell on behalf of the striking min era says: "Reports received at our of fice from Districts Nos. 1, 7 aud 9 of the anthracite coal region show that there have been great accessions to the ranks of the strikers, increasing the total number on strike from 10,000 to 11,500 during the day. In District No; 1 (Schuylkill) our forces have been aug luented by 4,500 mine workers, In ad dition to the 30,000 reported Monday The situation in District No. 1 (Lack awauna) is practically the same as the first day of the strike, only 200 men remaining at work. Total number of men idle, 118,000. We confidently ex pect that the number at work will grow less with each succeeding day until the mines shall be completely closed." ARE VERY MAD AT MR. HANNA.

Markle's pl.1,1 is for a ten days' truce pending negotiations. If the mines are worko 1 those ten days, the strikers say the force of the strike will be broken.

George Lyons, a felter, entered the hospital a week ago, a severe sufferer from the affieton that Dr. Berkley, with the help of the mosquitoes, wish es to experiment on. The patient was worn out with the chills and fever. He readily consented to theexperiment. Dr. Berkeley took twenty long leg ged, gaunt members of his brood to the hospital In a glass tube. There he placed six of the hungriest ones In another tube, and turning it bottom up rested it. against Lyons' arm. The mosquitoes quickly bored into the flesh and it Bwelled up red and large. When-thcy reached the stage of satiety the physician carefully gathered them up and after thanking the patient took them home to his laboratory. Lvons said that, owing to his mof serious disease, he did not ifeel the, bites. "But." he added, "I'm sort of sorry for them mosquitoes have got the malaria. I pity 'em If they shake like me." Dr. Berkeley would not discuss his experiment, but at the hospital it was looked on as successful so far as it went 'fhla iTinrTtinu- thA MmnanlM itwa h i , men to work and remind them that ue law allows them to use all necessary means to protect themselves.

A big parade started at Macaddo this morning, five miles from here. The men marched to many collieries aim induced the men to quit work. Some of the men remained in the mines but little coal was mined. Leaders are confident that 95 per cent of the men in the Anthracite region will quit work by the end of the week. New York, Sept. 19. Senator Manna stirred up a hornets' nest when If; tohl the business men of Chicago at the Union League club in that city yester day that he. regarded the situation In this state as dangerous. The Republican campaign managers here regard Senator Manna's words as a reflection upon their ability and they resent his assertion that New York is doubtful. While Senator Hanna was giving his warning in Chicago Senator Piatt was saying in the Fifth Avenue hotel: "There is no apathy in New York. President McKinley will carry the state beyond a doubt, and Odell Is certain to lie elected." Ten more Democratic banners will swing in Broadway within a week, by order of Mr. Croker. On those that, are now upholding the candidacy of Bryan and Stevenson appears tha declaration. "We wish to remain free people." Those soon to be put to the breeze will display the motto, "We in tend to remain free people." CLASHED WITH LINEMEN AND THE WORK STOPPED. Granville Citizens Object to Having 8hade Trees Ruined. B.

It is known that the company agreed to drop the case if no damage Buits were filed. This proposition was accepted by Sel bach and his attorneys. The reason the case was drooped, it is said, was because the agent of the company at Berlin, Germany, could not attend, the trial.

The Industrial battle is the hottest around the Markle company's four mines at Jeddo in the Hazleton district. This morning a member of the company said; "We purpose Keeping the mines working. Of course if they concentrate their efforts here we may find difficulty doing so. We will not tolerate trespass bowevi-r, and if we can't prevent it we will call upon the state. If our men lave us we will endeavor to fill their places." This declaration is taken as a forecast of an early call upon the state troops.

This, the third day of the great anthracite coa strike has failed to bring forth any thing that would tend to the corning together of the coal operators and the striking mine workers. - Neither side has approached the other, and aa far as could be learned there is no such move contemplated by either the oper aiors or their employes. Unless there is a break in the ranks of either It Seems that a third party will have to stfp into the breach and try to bring the two forces together. A statement issued by President Mitchell on behalf of the striking min era says: "Reports received at our of fice from Districts Nos. 1, 7 aud 9 of the anthracite coal region show that there have been great accessions to the ranks of the strikers, increasing the total number on strike from 10,000 to 11,500 during the day. In District No; 1 (Schuylkill) our forces have been aug luented by 4,500 mine workers, In ad dition to the 30,000 reported Monday The situation in District No. 1 (Lack awauna) is practically the same as the first day of the strike, only 200 men remaining at work. Total number of men idle, 118,000. We confidently ex pect that the number at work will grow less with each succeeding day until the mines shall be completely closed." ARE VERY MAD AT MR. HANNA.
